About the Item
Sophisticated pair of European mid-century modern wall sconces executed in polished chrome, featuring distinctive mirrored (half-silvered) glass globe shades. Designed in the late 1960s to early 1970s, these fixtures reflect the refined Space Age aesthetic that emerged across Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands during this period.
Each sconce is constructed around a vertical chrome wall stem with a gracefully curved arm, anchored by two circular wall plates—an architectural and technical detail characteristic of high-quality European lighting design. The lamp head consists of a shallow chrome reflector dish supporting a mirrored glass globe, designed to diffuse light softly while reducing glare and concealing the bulb from direct view. When illuminated, the mirrored glass creates an atmospheric, sculptural glow with elegant reflections.
This design language is closely associated with European manufacturers active during this era—particularly those working within the Space Age and late Modernist movements—though no maker’s mark is present, and the sconces are therefore attributed as European production.
With their balanced proportions (approximately 40 cm in height), these sconces are ideally suited for use as bedside lighting, flanking a mirror, lining a hallway, or accenting a living or dining space. The combination of chrome and mirrored glass allows them to integrate seamlessly into minimalist, mid-century, and contemporary interiors, while still offering a distinctive design presence.
The sconces retain their original vintage character, showing light, age-appropriate wear consistent with use. Wiring is present; professional installation is recommended to meet local electrical standards.
A refined and timeless pair of European mid-century wall lights—elegant, architectural, and highly versatile for interior designers seeking understated statement lighting.
